Notes

[1]A reference to the commission of representatives of the All-Russia
C.E.C. of the R.S.F.S.R. and the C.E.C. of the Ukrainian S.S.R.,
with the participation of representatives from the People’s
Commissariat for Food of the R.S.F.S.R. and the People’s
Commissariat for Food of the Ukraine, set up to inquire into the slate of
food supply work in the Ukraine. Objecting to the formation of
this commission, N. P. Bryukhanov wrote to Lenin: “It is not
likely that, the commission will propose any new measures. But
there is no doubt at all that it will divert some of the food
workers’ energy and attention from the fulfilment of their work, which
is urgent and brooks no delay” (Central Party Archives of the
Institute of Marxism-Leninism of the C.P.S.U. Central Committee).
